MAC Powder Blush 'Style' - Review and Swatch

This is the first of my posts featuring products from my Duty Free Haul; First up is the MAC Powder Blush in 'Style'. I've been looking for a peachy coloured blush for a while now, I was going to use up the rest of my No.7 one first but I couldn't resist the Duty Free offering. As I mentioned in the haul post, the lady at MAC was less than helpful, and I felt as if she really didn't want to assist me at all. I knew I wanted a peachy shade but I didn't know whether a matte look or a shimmer would suit me best. The lady said this was an 'inbetween' shade; not matte but not too shimmery.

Here's the Swatch

I have to say, I do love it. It's just what I wanted; it doesn't go 'OOOSH' look at me I have peach on my cheeks... it does give a really nice subtle glow; a nice alternative to bronzer for paler ladies and a nice change for those with a darker complexion. The No.7 one was way to pink for my liking and I don't want to look like a pot doll.

Everything about this blush is fab, the texture, ease of application; everything is good in my opinion; no complaints at all.

You can buy this from MAC's online store or Debenhamsfor £17.00 although I got mine for £14.15 (duty free bargain!)

My only personal issue is my lack of decent brushes. I apply nearly everything with a No.7 Kabuki brush (a crime, I know) I did buy some ELF brushes but quite frankly I found them pretty shocking! I need to invest in some good brushes!

Hey, I really wanna get Style, it's on my list :)Have you tried the body shop brushes? I have a really good blush brush from their :) And you can't go wrong with No7 eyeshadow brushes.. Oooh and I haven't tried it, but I've heard Benefit's Georgia is meant to be a good peachy shade :D

I use a tapered duo fibre brush from Crown. I think it's the C427 which is perfect as you can build up the colour without the risk of putting too much on in one go. I've got Mac Melba and NARS Gilda in my collection that are gorgeous peach shades.

I really like my Sonia Kashuk Blusher Brush, its angled and very soft! My must have eyeshadow brush is MAC 217 (you've probably heard/read that a million times but its worth the invest, makes blending a breeze!)& I really like the ELF Contouring and Blush Duo...the blush color is a really pretty peachy/pink!
